7" molded into the dash is fine if I could prevent it from getting stolen, which is why I would prefer a removable one.
Plus... I know absolutely nothing about molding something like that myself. I hardly wanna pay a few hundred or more to have a local body shop do it either.
...maybe I'm too picky.
if its molded in teh dash it wont get stolen man. I mean they could, but it'd be a fight. Means they hafta rip out the dash, which is *kindof* hard.
You sound picky haha. Jus put a damn 7 inch screen in ur passenger visor and put a dvd player somewhere sneaky. Then flip down the visor to watch.

Mold a screen into your radio bezel using some bondo and some bondo/fiberglass. It's not very difficult. After that, make something that covers your screen that you can set up. I made a notepad that hangs in the A/C vents and covers the screen. Also handy if you get pulled over.

Keep a look out on here over the next few weeks. My new screen just came in today, I'll have lots of pictures up as I'm going through the molding process. I have a feeling there's gonna be alot of trial and error

Alpine, Clarion, & Kenwood make double-din head units with monitors that fit perfectly in the dash. I have the Alpine myself, it looks sweet. Go to www.cardomain.com/ride/2288415 for pics of it.

Not a good idea unless it can be covered up or removed.

There is alot of room behind the radios in rangers. That being said, talk to your local shop or see if you can do it yourself, about recesing the aftermarket in the dash & taking the face off the factory & putting it in front of the aftermarket when the truck is parked.
